Rossi has been with Michael Andretti’s team since he arrived in IndyCar from Formula 1 in 2016, and scored seven wins including the 2016 Indianapolis 500. He finished second in the 2018 championship and third in 2019.
However, for a variety of reasons – misfortune, slow pitstops and some driving errors – the 30-year-old Californian has not won an IndyCar race for almost three years and six podium finishes over the last two seasons have seen him finish only ninth and 10th respectively in the end-of-year standings.
